$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({"galleryId":"5089929548","isMobile":false}) }) Sony's alpha 7S Mark III is the third iteration in the most video-focused of the company's a7 series of full frame cameras.
It's essentially a native 4K camera with impressive video specs and a revised user interface. It can capture UHD 4K footage at up to 120p in 10-bit 4:2:2 encoding and promises 16-bit Raw video output.
12MP BSI CMOS sensor
Bionz XR processor
On-sensor phase detection
ISO 80-102,400 (expandable to 40-409,600)
9. 44M dot EVF with 0. 91x magnification
4K video at up to 120p, 60p for 'at least an hour'
16-bit Raw video output at up to 60p
10-bit 4:2:2 internal capture (in codecs including H. 265 and All-I H. 264)
Fully articulating LCD

The Sony a7S III will sell for around $3500. This is a $500 premium over 2015's Mark II but still $500 lower than the launch price of the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H, which is arguably its closest competitor.
